Contribution of simple loops to the configuration space integral (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
For a manifold with a representation of the fundamental group, the configuration space integral associated with a graph (Feynman diagram) gives a real number. An appropriate linear combination of graphs gives an invariant of the manifold with the representation. In this talk, we discuss the contribution of simple loops to the configuration space integral. Hutchings, Lee and Kitayama give geometric descriptions of the Reidemeister torsion by using circle valued Morse functions. By using these descriptions and a Morse theoretical description of the configuration space integral, we have equations among the Reidemeister torsion and the contributions of simple loops in some cases. In this talk, we extend the equations for some other cases and give a computational example of the configuration space integrals by using Morse function.
